Eco House, a project launched 18 months ago in Dilijan to stop illegal deforestation.
The roar of two off-road motorbikes cuts through the tranquillity of Dilijan National Park, Armenia’s most popular tourist spot. Kicking up the forest floor, the bikes arrow toward the sound of a chainsaw.

The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
